However, recent years have made it difficult to dispute: from Damian Wayne's death at the hands of the Heretic to the trials and tribulations of Batman/Superman Annual #1, Batman's love for his son is unparalleled.
So yeah Bruce loves Damian. He loves him so much he's sad when he dies. Ahem. All in all it's not a father-son story: else there would be more banter, slice of life sequences, time for the dynamic to develop, etc.
Damian Wayne is the love interest of Raven in the New 52 DC Animated Universe and Mar'i Grayson in the comic book series Kingdom Come. In the comics he is shown having attracted to various other characters like, Kara Danvers (Supergirl), Stephanie Brown (Batgirl/ Spoiler), Emiko Queen (Red Arrow), and Djinn II.
The Bat-Family has become one of the DC Universe's most elite teams, but their bond with Batman is deeper than merely being his assistants. The vigilantes are the family that Batman chooses to have in his life, one that share his values and goals for the future.
The only hero that has and always will be there for Batman is Catwoman. Regardless of the issues they've had in the past, as Batman continues to sink into darkness, it's Catwoman who promises to be there — to never let him truly fall. Detective Comics #1077 is on sale now from DC Comics!
Their history on the Earth-Two continuity developed to the point where Catwoman reformed and Batman admitted his love for her, formally marrying shortly after and having a daughter, Helena Wayne, who later became the Huntress.
The sad truth is that Batman sees too much of himself in Damian and the burden of this haunts him. The extreme similarities between Batman and his son have often led towards tension between the two. In fact, Batman's guidance was necessary to help Damian avoid repeating his mistakes or even becoming something worse.
Among the big announcements from James Gunn about the future of the DCU was news of a new Batman in a film called The Brave and the Bold. This movie would have our first big-screen Robin in 25 years. But that Robin won't be Dick Grayson, but Damian Wayne, Bruce's biological son.
Justice Society of America vol. 3 #22 (2009) reveals that he would eventually marry Nightstar with whom he would have a daughter and son, and his family has inherited the Wayne Estates after Batman's death.
Damian Wayne's love interest, Flatline, returns to prominence in DC Comics; however, even Damian has mixed feelings surrounding her sudden reappearance. Flatline, whose real name is Nika, was first introduced in Damian's most recent solo series, Robin by Joshua Williamson and Gleb Melnikov.
This version of Damian Wayne is from a future where he becomes Batman after he is unable to save the second Batman. Damian has some supernatural power and is willing to kill.
Damian Wayne: His fear of rejection and disapprovement. Damian's life has always been defined by his desire to live up to both sides of his lineage's lofty legacies, showing just how heavy the struggle to honor his conflicting bloodlines weighs on him.
It also allows Damian to naturally age instead of grown in a lab, as he was born when Bruce was 29. Now, technically, the timeline hasn't been restored yet, so they should all be 10 years younger (their final New 52 ages). But once the timeline is restored, their natural ages should be fixed.
Notes. He represents Damian's fear of reverting back into a killer, how much he has grown from an arrogant psychopathic brat to a team leader and friend, and his regret that he might not be good enough to receive the love and trust from his friends and family.
He was raised by Talia and the League of Assassins. He becomes a talented martial artist by the time he is a pre-teen; at which point Talia reveals Damian's existence to his father, Bruce and leaves him in Bruce's custody in an effort to disrupt his work.
Damian Wayne's Mother Is Talia al Ghul, Making Ra's al Ghul his Grandfather. To understand Damian's relationship with evil, it's important to examine the root of his evil: his mother and, more importantly, his grandfather.
Damian Wayne is the biological son of Bruce Wayne (Batman) and Talia al Ghul. His existence was hidden from his father up to when he was about ten years old, during which time he was trained by the League of Assassins in a variety of disciplines to make him an extremely efficient killer.
Helena Wayne is the original incarnation of The Huntress, originating from the original golden age Batman continuity of Earth 2. Helena was the biological daughter of Batman and Catwoman, raised to be a lawyer-by-day/vigilante-by-night and eventually became her father's successor.
Talia intentionally raised him with the mindset that he would one day take over the world. This has resulted in him becoming socially awkward, not knowing how to behave normally among the people he now protects because he was expected to rule over them.
Weaknesses. Arrogance: More often than not, Damian believes himself to be better than he is, this has allowed him to underestimate opponents as well as irritate his allies.
Returns helped further cement the image of Batman and Catwoman as two soulmates cursed to be on opposite sides of the war for Gotham's soul. The movie also helped inspire Catwoman's portrayal in Batman: The Animated Series. On the comics side, Returns paved the way for the first monthly Catwoman series in 1993.
Following her introduction to the comics in 1999, Harley Quinn was depicted as the sidekick and lover of the Joker as well as the criminal associate and best friend of Poison Ivy.
